Not to say their beauties. Extra ordinary. Please give them another round of applause.Tukul : Audiences! Curious about Pepi‘s students there? Don’t go anywhere, stay tune on “Bukan Empat Mata!”

Tukul : We’re still on “Bukan Empat Mata”! Back to the laptop!Tukul : Good evening JKT48 and I’ve heard that you already have two generations now. Could you tell me the story then?Kinal : So, as we all know. JKT48 is AKB48 first overseas sister group. So in Japan itself, they have this first generation and second generation and so on. We are following the same system as our Japanese counterpart.Pepi : One question from me that still a mystery for me. We all work looking for money right? So how is your payment? Do you divide it evenly between you?Kinal : That’s a secret.Pepi : But you all got your share right?Kinal : Yes of course. Thanks God. More than enough.Tukul : And now JKT48. As we all know, there are a lot of girlbands out there in the market. But you market yourself as an idol group. What is the differences between those two terms?Stella : What we sell is the process. We all here starts from zero. There are those who can’t dance, can’t sing at first. And we all gathered here and learning together and fans could see our developments in so many way. That’s the main differences.Tukul : Any more questions Pepi, Aline?Aline : Have your fans ever misidentified you?Pepi : Like, you Kinal, misidentified as Kirun.Kinal : Ah yes. At first!Stella : Yes. Like “Hello Sendy!” while waving at me.Pepi : I see. How long does the misidentifying process took toll?Members : [laugh] [TN : They are laughing due to Pepi‘s kinda awkward way to ask the question. Joke lost in translation there]Kinal : Perhaps it is still happening as we talk now.Pepi : I seeTukul : As an Idol Group, I’m sure that you will have to take care of your unity. What is the steps you took to keep the friendships between you?Rica : Well, we need to know each other inside and out very well. Respecting each others between the older and younger one. Well, we are girls in the first place -which are known with their egos-. And thus, in the case of someone getting a little bit sensitive at training session; we need to understand her condition very well like perhaps she is tired and try to cooperate with her. And while we are on the backstage, we deepen our relationship with having some fun together. Happily laughing or even sharing stories together.Pepi : You all came from the same school or maybe even family or neighborhood? How did you first gather?Ve : No, nothing like that. We were gathered through some audition processes.Pepi : AuditionVe : Yes. So from those many who registered..Pepi : Through Singing or Voodoo?Ve : …Pepi : Singing?Ve : Yes, singing. Uh..we were tested in two subject when we auditioned. Singing and dancing.Tukul : Aline is there anything you wanna ask?Aline : They have members that came from Japan! I wanna get to know them better, which are you who came from Japan?Beby : HarukaPepi : Haruka! Kumaha Damang? [TN : Sundanese, means “How are you?”]Pepi : She’s shy!Tukul : [To Haruka] How’s your feeling after joining JKT48? What’s the differences between JKT48 and AKB48?Tukul : If you want to translate it to her, then please.Rena/Ayana : [Translating to Haruka]Haruka : Ah Iya~ [Ah Yes~]Haruka : Sama, Sama [It is the same (with AKB48)]Pepi : Eh? Why are you answering it to me? It was Tukul‘sHaruka : [Looking at Tukul] AKB – JKT Sama tapi beda bahasa. [AKB and JKT is just the same. The only difference is the language] [TN : She’s getting really good! It will be not long until there’s no longer a two version translation needed for her speech. She’s even using “Apa..” instead of “Ano..” :lol:]Tukul : I’ve heard that each one of you have their own unique skills. Is there any of you who would like to show your dance?Members : Beby, BebyTukul : Then please, the stage is yours.Pepi : Need a partner?
[Beby dancing]Tukul : And anyone who would like to sing?Members : Sendy, SendyRica/Frieska : She was a Dangdut singer!Sendy : What Dangdut song? Any request?Audiences : Terlena!Sendy : Terlena?
[Sendy singing]Pepi : We have a dancer, we have a singer. Any acrobatics?Members : Rena!Aline : A Gymnast?Kinal : Go for it Rena!Members : Rena! Rena!
[Rena doing her Ballet split]Pepi : OUUCH!Aline : Why are you the one ouching? [TN : As a male…I admit, I’m also ouching to see that perfect split from Rena]Tukul : As far as I know, your fans is mainly male who loves to chant and bringing their own light stick to your show and also collecting all your merchandises. Is there any unique fans you have ever met?Kinal : There’s someone who wore a cow costume when we uh..Nabilah : Performing in JogjaPepi : And when he open that costume it is still a cow inside.Members : [laugh]Kinal : A lot of unique oneNabilah : Like wearing a maskKinal : Or a sarong or peci [TN : Many Indonesians and foreigners have misunderstood Peci as a Muslim attire while it is not. It is a national attire regardless of religion.]

Tukul : We have just talked with one of your fan. What do you think?Kinal : He is totally awesome. Very full of spirit. We are very lucky to have such fans who sincerely supporting us.

They really means everything for us.Pepi : Now I wanna hear how Haruka thinks of that fan earlierHaruka : Ya Bagus. [He is good]Pepi : Bagus?Haruka : Iyah [Yesh]Tukul : And now for Ayana. I heard that you like me better compared to Deddy Corbuzier. [TN : Remember the Hitam Putih show when Ayana told the host that she preferred Tukul?]Ayana : …. [Holding her laugh]Tukul : What makes you fan-girling me?Ayana : Actually..I’m not your fan..ALL : [laughed]Ayana : At that time, I was given two very bad choice [Between Deddy, the “Hitam Putih” host and Tukul, the “Bukan Empat Mata” host]. And if I chose Deddy, I just know that he will get big headed. But actually, both of you are at the same bad level.ALL : [laughed]Tukul : I also heard that Haruka from AKB48 knows how to walk while doing a gym bridge. Please shows us then!Haruka : Sekarang?? [Now??]
[Haruka standing and getting ready]Tukul : Move backward a little bit, that’s too close with the glass desk. Dangerous. [Worried about Haruka which then hold Haruka‘s arm to make sure she’s far from the dangerous materials]Audiences : BOOO [Booing Tukul..poor guy, his good intention was being misunderstood as his malice ]Tukul : That was way too near with the glass…
[Haruka gym bride walking]Tukul : Stop! Stop!Tukul : Pepi, you could do it too?

Among all those boybands and girlbands, do you have something to innovate the industry right now?Vidi : Start from me?Tukul : YesVidi : My innovation currently is to introduce the mash-up genre in the local industry. To combine two or more old songs into one new interesting song.Tukul : And how about you JKT48?Kinal : Well we are AKB48 sister group and that makes us unique with our own colors in the local industry. We want to introduce a new concept to Indonesia, try something new.Tukul : Amazing, amazing.Stella : And in accord to what Kinal said, we are one of the immovation itself..Oops, Innovation..I mean, we are the first idol group in Indonesia. The first in local history to have this much members.Tukul : And how about you Aline? What is your innovation?Aline : Huh, mine? Um..I think I’m still in the learning period and with that, I’m not satisfied yet and I will keep learning the positive via reading, watching television and internet.Tukul : And to JKT48. You have just released an album.Members : Yes, the first albumTukul : So can you girls tell me about the album process?Nabilah : Well, as for the MV, we shoot it at a private school in Jakarta..I mean Tangerang. As for the process for the album..Kak Kinal please?Kinal : Well actually since the very first day of our debut, we already preparing our self for an album. Recording, album photo shoot. Thanks God we could release the CD after a year or so.Tukul : Okay, then now Laura Basuki, yeah you [pointing at Delima]Delima : What was the question?Tukul : Still the same, still the same.Delima : There’s a lot of process in making the album such as recording, vocal training, the album concept, promotion such as the recent promotion in various Radios in various city such as Bandung, Semarang and JogjakartaTukul : Awesome. And you [Talking to Ve].I noticed that from the very beginning, it seems like you wanna say something but you still haven’t got the chance to say it.Ve : We need a year for getting the album released. And since our debut, many asking us about the album and we always said “Soon.” Actually, the reason we took so long for the first album is our new and different concept. If we getting too hasty to release the album, we afraid that the public mass won’t accept what we’ve been offering them. So the reason we took so long is to ensure that the fans really knows what JKT48 is all about.Tukul : For JKT48 again. I’ve heard that your songs are mainly translated from Japanese. So, can you sing a Japanese version from one of the song for me please?Members : [Singing Heavy Rotation, Japanese version]
